    Hi guys!

    Had a huge wake up call yesterday and realised that I need to start doing something so this Christmas isn't on credit.

    Even though I have a wedding coming up and various other things going on I hope that I can join and save at least £300!

    Fingers crossed

    Nothing for me today :-( except a £200 bill for failed MOT boo! Brake pipes 4 of them how lovely! :mad:

    Mine is in at the moment, I'm trying not to think about how much it's going to cost!!! Luckily the man doing it is a friend of my dads so i know he won't charge me for things i don't really need.

    My potting is going rubbish! By the end of this month i am going to be over £1000 more in debt. Work have put a stop to all pay rises for the year. Life isn't going to great.

    HAPPY BIRTHDAY SUE AND CAZ - hope you are both having a wonderful day and being spoilt lots.


    On the potting front 2 x £1 coins and some coppers have joined the gang in my pot. Lovely sunny day here, but am sat at the table in a love/hate relationship with a Uni essay that needs to be finalised by 12 March! Will promise myself a break at 2pm to go get my daily fix of Vitamin D :)

    Happy birthday Sue and Grandmasam - those cakes looked lovely!!!
    On a potting front £2.45 for me today, no roadkill but nearly bent over double from looking for it.
    I'm not a failure if I don't make it, I'm a success because I :tried!

    Well by the looks of things i will be having this courtesy car until at least tomorrow. I'm guessing, the longer your car has to stay in the garage the more expensive the bill? It has been there since 08:30 this morning.......

    I have enrolled on my college course today. It's only a short course but will save me money on grooming my pup. Who knows, i may even be able to start a little side line.

    I have 21p to pot tonight.

    I thought someone had stolen my purse earlier so i have realised today could have been a lot worse!! Plus, because of everything that's happened today, it's meant extra cuddles with my puppy :)
